Bandırma: terminals and cargoes
Bandırma, on the southern Marmara coast, is a bulk port serving the farming and mining country behind it.
The main terminals
| Terminal | Where | Typical cargoes |
|---|---|---|
| Bandırma Port (Çelebi) | Bandırma | Multipurpose: grain, fertilizer, minerals, general cargo |
| Fertilizer and industrial jetties | Bandırma | Fertilizer and raw materials |
| Boron loading | Bandırma | Boron products for export |
A rough guide only: most terminals handle more than what is listed, and the cargo mix changes with trade, markets and sanctions. Your agent will know what a berth is taking at the moment.
What arrives and what leaves
Grain and fertilizer come in for the region's farms, and boron products and other minerals go out.
Surveys on a typical call
Draft surveys, hold cleanliness checks and sampling are the usual work on grain, fertilizer and mineral ships. See the grain, fertilizer and draft survey guides.
Practical notes
- Name the berth or jetty in your request, as some cargo goes over private jetties rather than the main port.
